Moth from Southeast Alaska - Hydriomena irata
Copyright © 2007 Matt Goff

Moth from Southeast Alaska - Hydriomena irata
Sitka County, Alaska, USA
May 26, 2007
Size: approx 1inch wide
This was resting on the bark of a Red Alder tree. It was not inclined to move (even after repeated camera flashes) until I put my finger right next to it, at which point it fluttered to another spot on the same tree.

I think it's a Geometer moth of some sort, but I really don't know. Any help would be appreciated.

Moved
Moved from Moths. If this move turns out to be wrong we may have to move it again.
A belated welcome to Bugguide. It is nice to get some images from Alaska. Try to fill in your contributor's page. It is always helpful to know who everybody is.
